Well, of course the investor line could be the typical hype which comes to nothing once they see the books in detail, we will have to wait and see. Only a couple of days ago, Aer Lingus were highlighting how the new franchise was already profitable for them, but perhaps it hasn’t been so good for Aer Arann (yet, it is still in its infancy).

Perhaps this will see the return of Aer Lingus Commuter as a wholly owned EI subsidiary. It may fit the emerging EI business model or a return to more traditional services (as enty’re considering their next alliance options). That said, with EI having used up so much of its bank account to keep operating, I’m not sure they would want to risk spending some of it on Aer Arann, unless they get it ‘for a song.
